Sex After Sixty

‘Marie de Hennezel allows the reader to deliciously eavesdrop on ordinary elderly people talking about how they keep the fires of passion burning. Not only is sex possible, it’s better. Who wouldn’t want to read this book? I couldn’t stop turning the pages: all these people, my age and older, speaking with such openness about the pleasures that age cannot erase.’

-- Lorna Crozier, author of The Book of Marvels and Small Beneath the Sky, and co-contributor of The Wild in You

‘De Hennezel conversationally recounts her interviews with various couples on their marital and extramarital relations and discusses approaches that have worked well for some couples, including some ideas drawn from Tantra and other Eastern erotic arts. The book is not just about sex but delves deeply into intimacy and how to ignite and sustain it … The book is written for those over 60, but it offers many insights for readers of any age who are interested in improving their relationships.’

‘She combines her own professional research and advice with sparkling insight from French experts including a former adult film star and an esteemed sex therapist … This highly useful and relatable book is playful, frank, and uplifting — just like its subject at the best of times.’
